Synopsis

Based on a true story, Moneyball is a movie for anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the system. Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseball's conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs. The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games. It's more than baseball, it's a revolution -- one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say he's tearing out the heart and soul of the game. MPAA Rating: PG-13 Rated PG-13 for some strong language. 2011 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Rafer Guzman

Moneyball is a winner, one of the freshest and smartest sports movies in years.

Tom Huddleston

As an example of smarter-than-average Hollywood fare - and a sly dig at modern sporting politics - 'Moneyball' has all the key bases covered.

David Denby

One of the most soulful of baseball movies -- it confronts the anguish of a very tough game.

J. R. Jones

The real protagonist of Moneyball, however, is Beane himself, played with great charisma by Brad Pitt.

Peter Rainer

[Pitt] provides ballast and a swaggering humor to a movie that, too often, strives to be The Social Network of baseball movies.

Lisa Kennedy

Pitt, who has a producing credit, is not the sole reason this tremendous -- yet intimate -- sports tale soars over the fences. The bench is deep. And the script has a powerful but finessed swing.

Worth watching!! After hearing n reading many accolades, I expected some kind of a fantastic shattering ending,which did not evolve.However, I thought the movie to be v good.Despite some parts that dragged, I was pleasantly suprised with the movie and Brad Pitt. If u like baseball mixed with a lil history,Moneyball is defin worth watching!!!

The best! Coming from a true Athletics fan this movie was the best and made me cry at the point where Scott Hatteberg steps up to the plate Coming from a baseball fan it was very interesting and cool to learn a little about billy beanes style of management

Well made sport movie A very well made sport movie considering it's closely adapted from true events. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) is the main character of the film and the film intertwined his only life and brief career as a major leaguer with his philosophy of trying to win with a major league team that plays at a severe financial disadvantage to the likes of NY and Boston. For the most part, the film did not go the extra length of creating dramatic situations and outcomes to keep you interested, partly because it is based on true events, but rather it managed to portray all the little reactions and emotions of everyone involved. Things like previously injured or largely disregarded players showing their gratefulness of a chance to play and internal conflicts among the team's staff really make this film shine. Even though the trailer showed many comedic clips, make no mistake about it, this is a sometimes-heartwrenching drama, because baseball is a tough, ruthless business. Movie is a little long at 133 minutes, but you still come away feeling like there are more stories to be told.

Crazy not to watch for anyone who loves the game Amazing movie. Amazing script. The book was great to begin with and the script along with direction and actors turned out to be really good. That made the movie awesome. How can you not be romantic with the game of baseball.

Well done Incredible movie. Great for any fan of baseball and its history. The dynamic between Pitt and Hill is very entertaining, as is theirs with the old school agents. Even the side plot with the daughter is tastefully done without being distracting, and her song at the end is simply beautiful.

Sticks to the book and real life.... Great portrayal of Beane, maybe not as dark as deserved, but captured the spirit of both the book and real life. Understated respect between the GM and his assistant make it extremely enjoyable. Pitt is the perfect ex-jock, with the way he treats those around him, and himself. Who works out like that but a former pro? Fun, enjoyable, and surprisingly accurate. Those don't happen often....

Don't listen to these morons This was a GREAT movie about a coach who changed everything by creating an algorithm. And as for a team that did nothing there streak was VERY IMPRESSIVE off such a low budget.

Fantastic. Simply fantastic. Outstanding performances, gutsy film-making, great story-telling. Just another example of what happens when you apply the most powerful tools known to man-kind: science and mathematic, to baseball - you finally understand the game and transform the profession.

Inspiring...outside the box!!!! Sometimes we get cought up in a standard routine. This movie is not just about baseball but it is a powerful message of what greatness can be achieved if simple and different angles are approached to whatever lies in front of each and every one us...powerful message and uplifting movie

One of the best movies in years! Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill do a superb job in this movie. Great adaptation of the book. It shows that there is a certain romance to the game of baseball. Should get an Oscar nod!

Baseball, Drama and Suprising Performances by Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jonah Hill and supporting cast make this more then just a great baseball film. 4.5 stars. As close to five stars as you can get. Would have liked to know more about Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) and what really keeps him in Oakland year after year. Many touching scenes regarding each character. A true Winner.

One of my favorites! It took me back when I lived in California during that time and went to many of those games. It was awesome seeing a different side of things other than just the games. Actors all around did an unbelievable job. Go A's!

Great movie If you like baseball you will love this movie..what made it so good was it was so true to life about the oakland a's...not too much hollywood at all..if there was one drawback there was never any mention of pitchers barry zito and mark mulder..

OMG! Best sports movie! So I was thinking about buying this movie on Google for a few days now, but its New Year's Eve and I had nothing to do tonight unfortunately... I like sports movies, but this one jump to being my favorite! It was amazing what the Oakland A's managed to do! This movie not only has the underdog story, but shows you the power of thinking outside of the box and the power of pure analysis! A must for anyone that is 1) a sports fan, 2) a believer that superstition is B.S., or 3) believes in modern economics!

Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States.

The remarkable true story of how one woman changed the world of sports forever. When Catana Starks (Academy-Award Nominee Taraji P. Henson) became the first African-American woman to coach an all-men's team at the collegiate level she expected it to be tough but she had no idea just how challenging it would be.

With sheer grit, determination and some unusual training tactics she guided this culture club of misfits to an all-time record championship season. Along the way she taught them no matter how rough the start, with the right aim and drive, anyone can triumph against overwhelming odds.
